THE Democratic leaders in Kentucky are
engaged now in explaining how it happened,
and say that the decreased Democratic ma
iority is due to the fact that voters of that
party stayed at home. In view of the fact
that most active and earnest canvass was
conducted by Buckner and his supporters it
may be well for the gentlemen to explain,
while they are about it, why the Democrats
stayed at home.

A Black Eye for Indianapolis.

II
The administration of justice must be loosely
conducted in Indianapolis, and the oaths of
jurors, in cases of public political crimes,
appear to rest lightly their consciences, if
they equipped with such an attribute The
verdict in this trial shows the extent to which
Democratic sympathizers with frauds on the
ballotbox will go in protecting violators Of the
law from its just penalties. 1t renders the fran
chise in that city insecure. and makes it the
easy prey of every cunning or daring rascal who
may seek to pervert it through theft. fraud and
forgery. It is ''black eye" for indianapolis
from which it will recover only after it shall
show that it protect the suffrage from the
devices Of corruption and vilainy.

MISUNDERSTANDING, Miss Fette, by
letter, addressed to the Young
Womans' Home, Fourth street,
Los Angeles, before January.
It is often asked why this soci-
ETY. needs any more festivals. As
the Home which the society built
with the funds from the festivals and
from subscriptions, is now self-sup-
porting, it might ON first thought be
called unnecessary for the society to
hold another festival o. to solicit more
help; but a glance into the basement
O. the Home shows that the work It
t re society is not finished, even
though the house is wholly paid Tor,
furnished and filled to its utmost Ca
pacitv with young women boarders.
A debt of $1,000 has just been incur

it is proposed to open lunch room,

toward the expenses of the lunch
room A cooking cla-s will probably
be opened in connection with this.
Besides the $1,000, another thousand
will probably be needed before the
basement can be fitted up with furni-
ces, etc.
1t was voted at the last meeting OF

The City Central Committees of the
Democratic and Republican parties in
Los Angeles met last night and agreed
upon fourteen representative men to
act as the body of Freeholders, who
shall fame a new charter for this
municipality. In the local columns
of the HERALD to-day, will be found
the naues of these gentlemen. One
of the requisites agreed upon by the
Committees, was that none should be
named who had not been residen. Ia,
this city at least five years. The
work of selection has been we'll done;
and the fourteen named did the
proper 1nins in selecting Mayor
Workman is the fifteenth member OF
the Board. There is also an ex-Mayor
in the list, and nearly all the others
have served the city in different ca
pacities. Besides this experience in
public affairs, the persons named have
large knowledge of general business.
There are four lawyers in the list and
a skilled mechanic. One of these Free
holders was member of the Board
which framed the charter under
which the city government is at pres
ent carried on. This is strong array
of qualifications, and it would be diff
cult to pick any flaw in the men named
for this important duty. There can be
no question about electing every man
on this ticket.

MAYOR WORKMAN wants a secretary
to help him properly perform the
duties of his office. The Mayor does
not ask for any help in the doing OF
the perfunctory offices devolving upon
him as the Chief Executive OF this

of legitimate progress. As Mayor
of Los Angeles the gentleman is daily

tiers from all parts of the Union ask
ing for information concerning all
sorts of matters in this section. 1t is
a most onerous task to answer all these
communications. This is only one OF
many lines OF obligations resting now
on the unaided shoulders of the May
or. MIR. Workman is devoting his
whole time to the good of the city.

his closest attention, and he is real
ly in all respects rendering
exceptionally valuable services
to this community. By all means let
a secretary be appointed to take off of
Mr.. Workman's hands few of these
details, works OF supererogation on
his part, if he were to consult nothing
but the bare outline Of perfunctory
duties.
